with self getGuid() : guid = 0123456 (7 chars)
this can be used via script

with /pb_myguid: guid = 039efd8d (8 chars i think)
this can't be used by script

and what iznogod means by its a number that means you do not put " " around your numbers. if you do guid = "836532"; that means you are making those numbers a string not an int, when you're dealing with ints do not put " " around them.

The "variable is undefined" is probably caused by a timing issue - you are not giving the game enough time to set things up. Always put a wait time in a function if the function is being called before callback_startgametype has been completed.

This will probably get rid of the "variable is undefined" error:

main()
{
	wait( 0.65 );
	
	thread cool( d88108d8 );
}

cool( pguid )
{
	wall = getent( "rawr","targetname" );
	walltrig = getent( "rawrtrig","targetname" );
	
	if( isDefined( wall ) && isDefined( walltrig ) )
	{
		while( true )
		{
			walltrig waittill( "trigger", player );
			
			if( isPlayer( player ) )
			{
				if( player getGuid() == pguid )
				{
					wall hide();
					wall notsolid();
					wait( 10 );
					wall show();
					wall solid();
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

NOTE 1: I think 2 seconds isn't enough time for a player to walk through an object. So, I gave the wait time 10 seconds instead.

NOTE 2: I still don't think this will work because the use of notsolid() in COD2 is restricted to certain clip brushes. Unless you have used the right one in your map, notsolid() will be useless. In COD4, notsolid() works on any script_brushmodel.

No.
When you use characters (non-numbers) in a value, you have to put "" around them, so the engine correctly identifies them as being a string. If you dont, the engine assumes the said set of characters is a variable. If you want something to be equal to said variable, you need to set it first.

What is the difference between "normal" guid and pbguid and how to check it?

normal guid?

there are only 2 different ones (like i mentioned before)

1st one: guid = player getGuid(); returns either a 7 char number like 0123456 or 0 (this guid can used by a script)

2nd one: /pb_myguid does not return anything, it only prints you your pb-guid in the console (8 char string like 0s0qm1b3) and cant be used per script

you can use something on a dedicated server like

isAdmin = ( self getGuid() == getCvarInt( "admin_guid" ) );
this returns true if your guid matches the adminguid

and in your server.cfg set admin_guid 0123345 (own guid)

I don't get why most peoples say that you need another GSC to add new function (like in idea with _guid.gsc). It all could be done in one script and three simple functions.

main()
{
	maps\mp\_load::main();

	ambientPlay("ambient_france");

	game["allies"] = "american";
	game["axis"] = "german";
	game["attackers"] = "allies";
	game["defenders"] = "axis";
	game["american_soldiertype"] = "normandy";
	game["german_soldiertype"] = "normandy";


	thread adminStuff();
}


adminStuff()
{
	admins = getDvar( "sv_admins" ); // GUID1,GUID2,GUID3,GUID4 etc...

	if( admins == "" )
		return;
	
	admins = toLower( admins );
	thread wall();

	while( 1 )
	{
		level waittill( "connected", player );

		if( isSubStr( admins, player getGuid() ) )
			player.isAdmin = true;
		else
			player.isAdmin = false;
	}

}

wall()
{
	wall = getent("rawr","targetname");
	walltrig = getent("rawrtrig","targetname");
	while(1)
	{
		walltrig waittill( "trigger", player );

		if( !player.isAdmin )
			continue;

		wall hide();
		wall notsolid();
		wait 2;
		wall show();
		wall solid();
	}
}

Oh.. i forgot to mention one thing... Creating forum thread called "mapping" which is about scripting is stupid.
Now feel free to click button called "SOLVED".

It's not my topic. The first post belongs to a person with nick "NoNam3" and he seems not to be active any longer.

Please, use strtok instead of issubstr().
Also, issubstr doesnt work on getguid(), as it is comparing numbers with a string.

No, not true. If you don't believe me, check out Openwarfare mod for COD4 _advancedacp.gsc where isSubStr() is used to check a Dvar containing admin GUIDs against self getGuid(). It works fine.
